Statues of women with motherhood as subject: bronze figures of mother and child.

<< The natural state of motherhood is altruism. When a woman becomes a mother, she is no longer the centre of her own universe. She abandons that position for the sake of her children. >>

(Jessica Lange)

However different the cultures, religions, customs and usages of one country may be from another, or the habits of the animal kingdom from those of the human “race” … is there anything more universally recognized in every corner of the world than the figure of a mother with her child?

Right from the dawn of time this image accompanies us, reminding us of our origins in this experience of life on earth.
